After debuting in Dibakar Banerjee’s Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Anshuman Jha and Raj Kumar Yadav are back as the leads in debutant director Amit Chauhan’s Boys Toh Boys Hai, a comic caper on the lines of Archies set in Delhi.

The director informs, “It’s a youthful, coming-of-age story of four young guys. They all face a similar problem–there are no women in their lives.

They are looking for the perfect woman in their lives and fall in love but none of them is able to find the right woman. The crux of the story is how they overcome their problems and find their respective ladyloves. Anshuman plays a sardar, Rajkumar plays baniya and there is a character called Atal Bihari Bakshi, a Punjabi born in Bihar, played by a debutant Anuj Kumar.”

Having had his fair share of relationships with women, this National Award winner has managed to stay friends with a lot of his exes (Freud must be turning in his grave).

“Back in school, I used to think girls are the enemies,” says Arjun, “Always out to harm you. Until in eighth standard, my mother decided to shift me to the Kodaikanal International School. Ours was a typical lower middle class family in a small town called Jabalpur. So my mother took up a teaching job in the same school; or else funding my education would’ve been impossible. Suddenly, I was exposed to a new world of ideas, opportunities. This proved to be a turning point of sorts that changed my outlook towards women and men and most importantly, my relationships with them.”

Class difference

The Kodai School transfer was more of an eye-opener for Arjun and the timid, quiet, insecure boy in him started opening up to others around him. “This school had no uniforms,” says Arjun, “So the students wore what they wanted. I would turn up in a t-shirt and a pair of shorts.” Didn’t the clothes make class distinctions more apparent amongst students? Arjun disagrees, “It just made us more comfortable with ourselves because our backgrounds didn’t matter. Each of us now had a locker to keep his things More >
